Salem, Oregon must be the only capitol city in the country to NOT have commercial air service. It was only 13 short months ago that commercial airline service resumed in Salem, but it looks to be ending in October. Damn.
In a situation of life imitating art, it has been shown that the Iranians photoshopped a picture of recent missile tests. This has, of course, sparked a fire storm on the web.

The 2008 primary season will be over next week and I’m not sorry to see it end. This quote from May of 2007 pretty well sums up where things are in May of 2008.
“We sometimes joke here that if this primary process ends up as fractured as it appears at this particular point, you know, there’s the one-in-a-million shot that perhaps things won’t be sewed up by June 3rd, and South Dakota may get some national attention. But that’s literally a one-in-a-million chance of that happening. And as opposed to that, I rather think it’ll be pretty much wrapped in February.” ~ South Dakota’s Secretary of State, Chris Nelson.
